Over The Waters Blue

"over the waters blue the night winds sigh, the breakers roar" ... Samual Taylor Coleridge Over the waters blue I love to sail, many times I get to see a big whale. Some nights the wind will sigh, like saying oh my. Some nights the wind seems to sing, I can hear our ship's bell ring. Today the sky is gray, look we are coming into the bay. Not much time to be free, then back out to the blue sea. The breakers roar, sounding like a huge old boar. The sea life is for me, needing to fly like a big yellow bee. I love being a sailor, living in a cabin and not a trailer.
